A good inexpensive choice for a preschoolerMay 13, 2007
By Robert H. Gersky
Our three year old loves this good looking (for plastic)silver toy clarinet that allows him to play along with his favorite classical CD's (he's a big Baby Einstein fan). For the price it's definitely worth the fun it's facilitated. We've got the whole set (clarinet, trumpet, and sax). The sax has made it through four months of regular use (not being used as a substitute toy drum though) with no defects- the other two instruments have each had a single button/key break.

 Amusing Toy ClarinetJun 28, 2010
By Karen A. Amrhein
"Karen A."
The "Botempi" toy clarinet seems a reasonably sturdy plastic toy instrument. It plays a C-Major scale, though the lower half-octave is of dubious tuning. This can be a problem if one wishes to use the toy clarinet in conjunction with other instruments (a toy piano or toy trumpet, for example). I'm a composer, and I wrote a little piece for this toy clarinet, the "Botempi" toy trumpet, the "House of Marbles" toy drum (highly recommended), and a Schoenhut toy piano (a fine instrument). I found that I was only able to reliably use the upper half-octave (G to C) of the toy clarinet when accompanying the toy piano or even the toy trumpet.
The sound of both the "Botempi" toy wind instruments is close to that of the harmonica (actually, it's a cross between an harmonica and the medieval crumhorn), so don't expect a "clarinet" sound. Still, it's easy to use and sturdy, assuming gentle play. If you don't need the pitches to be accurate, and you don't need a toy clarinet that sounds like a clarinet (which may not exist), then this is an amusing and smile-inducing toy instrument.

 Cheap toyMar 10, 2009
By April Lapetoda
"mommy of 2 boys"
Have you ever gone to a dollar store and seen the cheap toy musical instruments they sell? They usually sell for maybe $3.99. Well, that's what you are looking at now, except they are charging $15.89. I orderered this as well as the saxaphone and trumpet for my 4-year-old son. When the package arrived last night and I opened it I was completely disgusted in how I had wasted my money. This toy is so cheaply made, even the box it was enclosed in is cheap. I am debating returning it or giving it to my son. I know because of how cheap the toy is made it'll be broke within a week.

Bontempi ClarinetNov 24, 2008
By Charles Royal Jr.
This product is priced good for the quality. If you have a child that is rough with toys, this is not a good chose. My daughter is 4 years old and she really enjoys this toy.

Could be better made...Nov 18, 2007
By K. A Doncaster
"Mom to Two Princesses"
We got this for my daughter's 5h birthday because she asked for a Clarinet. She really loved this toy a lot and played it all the time. The problem is that the keys are very cheaply made and are continuously breaking off the body of the toy. We have lost most of the keys so now the clarinet only plays one note. Not recommended.
